Is there a time limit on the rocking motion? As in, will it rock the baby for several continuous hours without mom/dad having to do restart it?

No the music and motion are both on a timer. It cuts off after about 20 minutes.

yes, there is a time limit, you have to restart it every time after it stops.

You can't. It is helpful to play it to help the baby relax and fall in deep sleep, but once the baby does- the sound could actually wake him/her up if it kept running, so it might not be a good idea to keep it running all night anyway.

We purchased the same item about 1 year ago and have had no issues with it. The baby even bangs on it and messes around with it. It sounds like you have a defective unit and should request a replacement at no charge.

Personally, I do not choose to use it. I know my baby isnt going to jump out of the rocker, I feel safe just placing her in it. Plus I can pick her up quickly, I do not need to unbuckle anything.

I didn't end up using it as it didn't really help my baby. Also, the fact that it shuts itself off after 20 minutes is not ideal. However, the vibrations seems quite strong, although I'm not sure in comparison to the "bouncer with vibration". It did seem to vibrate as much as the bouncy chair with my graco swing/bouncer if that's a helpful comparison.

Pretty much it is dependent on the baby. I stopped soon after my son could roll over which was around 5mo because his feet would hit one of the legs and make it collapse on him. A playard that crosses at the tip is probably a better choice to make.

It depends on how carefully you pick it up. It can be done, but it easily will roll the baby back and forth if you aren't extra careful!

For me I wanted to keep the sleeper strictly for sleep at night to kind of teach her that when she's in that she's to sleep for awhile lol so I still use the bouncer for play time. Even though the sleeper rocks it doesn't make as much movement as the bouncer when the baby kicks and moves. I use the rocking feature if she wakes up and just needs a little rocking to go back to sleep. I think having both would be beneficial depending on how you plan on doing things with sleep.

It doesn't sit up that high. I put a snuzzler inside and it kept by son a little more elevated. Which helped with as acid reflux, bit I always hold him for at least 10 minutes before putting him in the rocker. He has really bad reflux though. He takes medication. He was born at 26 weeks. So your baby might be okay in it. But I recommend putting a snuzzler or some kind of body support

My son, who is 10, loves his! It goes as fast as an electric scooter, but you have to work to make it go which I think is better. It is an easy back and forth rocking motion.

Mine does make a slight ticking noise. I assume it's related to the gears that move it around. It doesn't bother me, and the baby is still completely enamored with it, so I've never really noted it. We don't get thumping though. Could the straps holding it to the crib need to be tightened more?

The music plays for about 10-15min. It plays each a portion or each lullaby once. It does rotate slowly as it goes. My wife and I have found that it is a little high pitch and not very soothing. If you are looking for something soothing I recommend the Rock - A - bye lullabies series. They take all the best population music and turn it into lullabies. Long days and peaceful nights.

No, it does not rock on its own, you have to rock it manually. but it does vibrate.

Yes, it should bounce when baby moves or you bounce it yourself. I would send yours back for a replacement. Hope this helps!

This rock n play doesn't take batteries. What we did was set our baby in it and rocked him with our foot or if we laid in bed, it would be the right height for us to rock him with our hands.

No. My 2month old daughter currently uses it and it does not shake or vibrate the stronger/higher you set the motions. It's very soothing. Although the machine makes a constant noise, the noise itself even seems to put my daughter to sleep, so not a problem for me at all. However if your child is sensitive to sound, this swing may not be the best option.

No the chair does not rock/glide with the foot rest up. I would get a small nursing stool if for nursery. That is what we are doing.
